Are we not shoving this hand, in this spot every time?

Uh, ya? Our M is 2.6, jam while you can still get folds. I don't even look at my cards in this spot.

Two of the remaining players were giving me crap after the hand. I went on to finish 3rd (45man SNG).

I think it's funny when people give you crap for pushing with KJ that late in a tourney. For either blind to call you, there are only a handful of hands they can do so with. You played it right, imo. The blinds are killing you and the chance of getting something better before the blinds hit are small.

You hit right time for shove

 

[OzExorcist]

Standard - I'm shoving plenty worse hands than KJ in that spot.

This.
Unless you where accedently only deal one card and that one card was a 2, shoving here with ATC is pretty standard imo, KJ is like top of your range in this spot.

With your M so small. Any ace, any pair, any suited connectors, any two face cards, any one gappers, any suited cards....instashove. Or if your opponents are tight/weak, shove with ATC.

Sometimes people will beat up on you when you make the right play, thats why in the long run you make the most money and they don't. Just ignore it and rub that cash on your titties

 

[bandrade]

You should always push as a short stack in this spot, most of the time you'll be ahead and if you got called by someone with an Ace, still have 40% of chance.
